It’s Long Exposure Tuesday and we’re going to stick with the fog theme. On Tuesday evening, I received my new camera to replace the 4-year-old dSLR I had been using. When I woke Wednesday and noted the fog, a huge grin crept upon my face. I quickly ducked out of the house with a few ideas in mind. Castle Rock was actually the last place I visited and I spent at least an hour there exploring the crashing waves and various angles to capture the beauty and power of the ocean.
In this image, I extended the shutter speed to 1/4 of a second so that the waves motion was slowed just enough to bring out the various forms in its movement – but not enough to blur it into mist. It took a number of attempts and waiting through countless waves to get the motion just right. This image with the water starting its retreat and the next wave cresting was my favorite of the set. The fog serves to blur the horizon and make the ocean seem endless.
